I Only Wish

I only wish I were a better personAnd do at least one good deed every dayThere is plenty room for me of self improvementOn the righteous path to go I have some way.

In the World there are so many good peopleSome doctors and nurses go to Countries far awayTo improve the health of poverty stricken peopleWithout Government assistance or any cash for pay.

Some semi skilled and skilled people leave their HometownsFor to work in Lands where poverty is rifeTo impart their knowledge to the poor less privilegedAnd help them to attain for themselves a far better life.

I only wish I were a better personSince that is all to which I do aspire, So many who do lead by good exampleAnd these are the people that I do most admire.
